Voters Lists.

Tue dates for holding courts for final re- vision of voters lists are advertised. _Per- sons whose nfmes are not on the prelimi- nary lists should at once get an application written out and forwarded to the Revising Utticer.

The City Candidates.

Arrer repeated failures to induce any one of standing and respectability te con- test the City as & Ci league of Mr. F. Peters, the Grits have ‘‘fallen back” upon their old ‘stand by —Mr. Thomas Morris; and the “Patriot '’ of last evening, as in duty bound, bravely waves the standard of ‘* Morris and Peters.”

The ‘‘ organ” gives Mr. Morris the first place ; and we may, therefore, presume that that is the position he holds in the estima- tion of the party. it is eminently fitting that the party of high professions and cor- rupt practices shoul] choose a3 its leading candidate a person who is notoriously and admittedly the chief aider and abettor of violators of the law in this city ; and it is consistent with their inconsistency that such good, sincere and sound temperance workers as Mr. Donald Farquharson gnd the Honorable David Laird should ‘be among those who pressed him to come out as ‘‘ the stroigest man that could possibly be obtained.” In the eyes of these high- minded gentlemen, one who, afew weeks ago, classed ministers of the gospel of peace and good will to men as worse than those— cursed of God and the Bible and all good men—who put the bottle to their neighbors’ lips making them drunken withal and sending souls to damnation, is a fit and proper person to represent the views of the citizens of Charlottetown in the Legislature of Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Morris, we are told, is a *‘shrewd business man’’—his suceess in keeping alive a business which is under the ban of the law being, no doubt, considered good proof of that useful characteristic in a legis- lative representative of the people. And he took a noble stand against such ‘‘mean’’ men as George W. DeBlois, Esq., the Hon. Samuel Prowse, the Hon. John Lefurgey, the Hon. Daniel Gogdon! The fact has but to be mentioned to commend Mr. Morris to the favorable consideration of every good citizen.

Then he has been such an able City Councillor. So excellent in judgement, so powerful in argument, so judicious and patriotic in action! In fact he possesses al] the shining virtues which are admirable in the eyes of the hard and fast members of the Grit Combination. One of these gentle- men remarked some time ago that he would ‘‘vote for Black Bill if he were the nominee of the Party ;” and such as he, will no doubt, vote for Mr. Thomas Morris.

In accordance with the eternal fitness of things, we see Mr. Frederick Peters brought

ut under the wing, to speak figuratively, of the fine bird we have just been contemplat- ng. We are told by the ** Patriot that Mr. Peters is a man of ‘independent means.” But the value of the qualification contained in the possession of ‘‘ independent means ” depends altogether upon the use made of them. ‘* Independent means” entail upon their possessor higher duties and responsi bilities,and enable him to do good in a wide, sphere. How has Mr. Peters used his “‘in- dependent means?” Has he taken a more activo interest in public affairs than his op- ponents, who are not recommended to voters as possessors of “‘independent means?” Has he exercised a more benign influence

Is he likely to give more time and attention than his opponents to the duties | OF & Legislative position on account of his possession of ‘‘independent means?’ "These az questions which the ‘‘ Patriot,’’!

after ¢ ’ | Miter commending Mr. Peters to the electors

THE DAILY EXA

‘yer in large practice, and it is not to be supposed that, though he has ‘* independ- ent means,” he will neglect his duty to his clients or give up more‘of his time to the public than Hon. Mr. MeLeod or Mr. Blake. If Mr. Peters were prepared to give up his practice and devote all his time to the promotion of the public good and the duties of a representative of the people, there would be some force in the ‘ Patriot's’ suggestion that he is a man of ‘independent means.” But as Mr. Peters clings tenaciously to his practice, he is in no better position in that respect than either of the gentlemen who have worthily represented the city in the past term of the

Legislature. After all, what man is more

truly independent than he who, possessed of good abilities and high purposes, is able to make his own living in the world, and at the same time win the respect and confi- dence of his fellows?

For the motive which imfluences Mr. Peters we have great respect. To obtain a seat upon the Bench of the Judiciary is a very laudable ambition ; and Mr. Peters is not to be blamed for taking steps towards such a desirable consummation of his career. But the electors of Charlottetown must con- sider whether or not he is more worthy of confidence and support than their popular and public spirited representatives, Messrs. McLeod and Blake. These men have carv- ed their own fortunes in the world,—they have not shown a cynical indifference to the requirements of the public ; and we confi- dently anticipate their triumphant return to the seats they have filled so well that their bitterest opponents. are unable to bring a single serious charge against them,

Gold in Truro.

Truro is excited over the discovery of what may yet prove to be a valuable gold mine. An old Indian fishing in a small brook called Swamp Brook, about three miles back in the woods from Valley Sta- tion, saw the glitter of gold in the bed oi the brook, and immediately set to work and brought out a fine. quartz rock with small fragments of gold in it. The Indian took his treasure to town and promised to shew two young men named James Buchanan and Silas Archibald the place where he found the gold for a_ barrel of flour. When they reached the place they found that what the Indian had said was true, and on examination two veins each about two inches in thickness and divided by a vein of slate, were found to run perpendicularly through the rock. Several valuable quartz specimens were taken from the veins, for several of which the young men _ were offered from $10 to $15. Messrs. Buchanan and Archibald have leased the land iu the immediate vicinity of the gold find and intend not only to pros- pect the locality thoroughly, but also to have it examined by specialists. The people of Truro, it. is said, do not ‘take much stock’ in the discovery, but Messrs. Buchanan and Archibald are confident they have a sure thing. They are enterprising young fellows, and we hope they have really got a bonanza.—Tranacript.

apenas italian eect Greece and Turkey.

There is no longer any fear of war be- ween Greece and Turkey, a royal decree at Athens having demobilized 50,000 men. The change in the outlook is as sudden as it is complete, and makes it probable that the severe fighting on the frontier was due to the mutual restiveness of the opposing forces, The latest reports make the Greeks the aggressors, in which case we have all along contended the affair was like- ly to prove less serious than if a Turkish in- vasion had been arranged for by Russia or should occur spontaneously. The fact seems to have been that neither party found itself enough superior to the other to push the fighting, and so convert a chance engagement into the deliberate opening of hostilities. But the eveness with which the balance of probabilities hung fora few days, and the slightness of weight needed to ‘Ls turb it, show what a lottery prediction must be in such a matter as the Balkan im- broglio. There is as yet no explanation proffered of the Czar’s singular manifesto. — Philadelphia Press. en = ee

The Evolution Question.

The General Assembly of the Presbyter- ian Church at Georgia, Pa., has adopted the following report on the subject of evolution by a vote of 137 to 13: “The Church remains at this time sincerely con- vinced that the Scriptures, as truly and authoritatively expounded in our ‘confession of faith’ and catechism teach that Adam and Eve were created body and soul by im- mediate acts of Almighty power, thereby Adam's body was directed and fashioned by Almighty God without a natural animal parentage of any kind out of matter pre- viously created out of nothing, and that any doctrine at variance therewith is a danger- ous error, inasmuch as by methods of inter- preting Scripture which it must demand, and in consequence, which by fair implica- tion it will involve, it will lead to denial of doctrines fundamental to faith.” rt

Hawirax, June 1.

There is no word of the arrival of the Allan steamer Siberian at St. John’s yet. She is now nine days out from Halifax, and there is great anxiety respecting her.

Capt. Dawson of the steamer Portia ar- rived from St. John’s yesterday. He says he ran through dense fog the whole voyage, and passed many monster icebergs. But he hoped the Siberian was laying to in the fog for safety. A steamer searching for her from St. John’s has failed to find her.

[Major Picton, of Charlottetown, was a passenger on board the Siberian. }

HOME RULE. Chamberlain's Supporters Pledged.

Great Excitement!

Lonpoyw, June 1.

Fifty-five of Chamberlain’s supporters met last night, and fifty-two pledged them- selves to vote against the Home Rule Bill. Mr. Chamberlain has written a letter to John Bright vehemently condemning the Bill, pledging himself to vote against it, and urging others to do likewise. The re- sult of the meeting caused great excite- ment among the Gladstoneites, who admit a strong probability of defeat.

Chamberlain speaks to-day, and GlAd- stone will likely close the debate.

The Gladstoneites say a dissolution is certain if the Bill is defeated. Anti-Glad- stoneites hope fora Ministry under Hart- ington.
